Re: Running a JRuby Script With Maven

Hi all.  I'm using JRuby as a scripting language to call on Java libraries
such as Apache Tika to do various kinds of work.  I'd like to use Maven to
run these JRuby scripts because I'd like it to take care of finding jar file
dependencies, and adding them to the classpath from the Maven repository.

I've found some info online, but it seems to be fancy stuff like how to
build a JRuby plugin or how to set up a scripting interface in a Java 6 app.

I just want to run a JRuby script.  I know I'll need to set up the jar file
dependencies in the pom.xml file, but that's trivial to do.

Can someone help me with this?  It would be very greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, is there some way I can use Maven's dependency management to
generate a list of jar filespecs that I can use as a classpath in a command
line script?  I know I can call "mvn dependency:resolve" and get output such
as this that I could parse:

[INFO] [dependency:resolve]
[INFO]
[INFO] The following files have been resolved:
[INFO]    asm:asm:jar:2.2.3:runtime
[INFO]    asm:asm-commons:jar:2.2.3:runtime
[INFO]    asm:asm-tree:jar:2.2.3:runtime
[INFO]    backport-util-concurrent:backport-util-concurrent:jar:3.0:runtime
[INFO]    classworlds:classworlds:jar:1.1-alpha-2:compile
[INFO]    jline:jline:jar:0.9.91:runtime
[INFO]    junit:junit:jar:3.8.1:compile
[INFO]    org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:jar:2.0.4:compile
[INFO]    org.apache.maven:maven-artifact-manager:jar:2.0.4:compile

...but if there's an easier way that would be nice.

Thanks for any help,
- Keith Bennett
